CTHULHU/LOVECRAFT
MYTHOS

The most prolific legend
builder of the last century was HP Lovecraft (1890-1937). His
mythos is commonly called the Cthulhu Mythos (a term actually
coined by August Derleth) and comprises two main classes of
creatures: The Great Old Ones who are completely evil and hate
humanity, and the Elder Gods who can best be describe as
indifferent to the fate of humanity. There is also a third
class of entity that might be called mindless. These creatures,
such as the Night Gaunts, are not in themselves evil, but are
often used by the Great Old Ones (or their human slaves) to do
evil: British writer Brian Lumley has coined the term "Cthulhu
Cycle Deities" or CCD to refer to The Great Old Ones & The
Elder Gods jointly.

TIME, THE OTHER GODS (Malevolent):

#9]

Avatar of Nyarlathotep.
One specific form of Nyarlathotep. Enoch Bowen locked the
avatar in the tower of thechurchofStarry WisdominProvidence. The avatar should have taken human form,
to wear the waxen mask, and the robe that hides. It destroyed

dead). Dexter became the avatar. In his present form
